These delightful prints capture the four seasons in Suzhou – the Venice of China. With its mild climate Suzhou is a tranquil place that captures many Chinese hearts. There is a saying in Chinese “there is a paradise in the Heaven, Suzhou is the paradise on earth.” It is a place where people go to relax, to enjoy family life away from the cities and admire the beautiful scenery. The set of paintings, depicting the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter scenes shows the peace that is found there. An unclouded place often leads to an unclouded mind.

There is a famous poet, Ji Zhang of Tang Dynasty (618-907), who wrote a famous poem to show his affection for Suzhou:

Went to YoSUSHI, a long-awaited decent sushi parlour yesterday. Hhhhhmmm, not to my expectation. The sushi looked dry and not really nice and authentic like the one in Sushi King or Gengki Sushi. Well, i better make the sushi by myself. However, thanks Angeline for giving me a treat...hehehehehee...after i have to wait for an hour in front of Fenwick. So NO star for YoSUSHI!

::life is beautiful::

For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacles in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life...
